I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must’ve tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can’t get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn’t click for me and I can’t get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I’d rather not…
I got to play with a Hololens a bit when my brother brought one home from work. Astonishing tech.
To be fair, this has been pretty standard corporate-speak in most industries for a long time. It’s (typically) referring to giving people a reason to stay with your product - we used to use this exact phrase in reference to our complementary training programmes that were included with the product.
But, this is HP, so locked in means LOCKED IN. So, fuck HP 😂
Pretty sure they’re asking for software FOR Windows, rather than Windows itself.
The *arr suite all have web front ends - so you open the page from your phone or laptop etc, add the show you want and off they go with the download, rename, cataloging etc. It it is generally quite elegant in the way it works.
I like the comparisons with synthesizers, digital cameras, Photoshop etc. Not an aspect I’d considered before, so it will be interesting if we do in fact see a “creativity boom” as a result of these new techs…
Personally, I’ve found the text based LLMs to be invaluable in parts of my professional life - for example, churning out boilerplate type text for procedural documents. It’s a tool to be used when appropriate, but currently it’s new and shiny…
Fascinating read, cheers.
There are stairs to the cave itself, but inside is a completely natural pathway. Nothing between you and the speleothems except a rope on the ground. Lights are an LED system worn on each individual’s helmet. And about a bazillion glowworms down in the lower levels over a lake.
Not always. I run a commercial tour (approx 5k visitors per annum, so fairly small in the great scheme of things) - one of the things we pride ourselves on is keeping the cave in its largely unmodified state. It’s really special to be able to share that with people.
Yes, generally seen as a last resort to provide access past a squeeze but I know of several caves that have had Kilometers of passageway added to their surveys through the enlargement of a single point.
Nice one - whole family enjoyed that! Two of us found glitches that got us through at least 3 levels in a row. Level 7 was tough tho!
Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I’m striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn’t respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.
Wasn’t aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!
